Nails In My Feet

My life is a house, you crawl through the window

Slip across the floor and into the reception room

You enter the place of endless persuasion

Like a knock on the door when there's ten or more things to do

Who is that calling?

You my companion

Run to the water on a burning beach

And it brings me relief

Pass through the walls to find my intentions

Circle round in a strange, hypnotic state

I look into space, there is no connection

A million points of light and a conversation I can't face

Cast me off one day

To lose my inhibition

Sit like a lap dog on matron's knee

Wear the nails on your feet

I woke up the house, stumbled in sideways

The lights went on and everybody screamed, "Surprise"

The savage review, it left me gasping

But it warms my heart to see that you can do it too

Total surrender

Your touch is so tender

Your skin is like water on a burning beach

And it brings me relief

And it brings me relief

And it brings me relief

Like a night in your mind

Brings me relief

It brings me relief

In the back door, under the stars

And the scenery's my floor

In the back room, under stars

And the scenery's my floor
